Republicans and Democrats are so worried about their parties that they do not worry about what is most important. THE USA CITIZENS! If we had term limits on all offices and no parties we "the USA" might thrive even more!

Well this is an interesting question. George Washington warned against political parties. Term limits should be law, these people will never want to leave once they get in there and get all their freebies. All they want is power, not what is best for this country. They spend most of their term worrying about getting re-elected.
This is not good government, God help us.

How old are you? This is very naive on your part. Although there is much wrong with our parties right now, there is no better system in any other country.
If you truly educate yourself on what each party stands for, you will find that the core values have be skewed by the far left for the democrats and the bush bashing media for the republicans.
We are a strong country with great citizens and an awesome voluntary military. Be thankful that you live here and have all of the rights that you do have.
If this country does not vote the Republican ticket in 2008, we can be sure to expect conflict from other countries on our soil within the next four years.
Remember that!

If you really want things to change, you'll" vote for the other guy". In the event that there is no incumbent running, vote for the third party candidate. Being the incumbent or getting the endorsement of a major party should be no guarantee of winning a seat. Only the people can make that happen.
In my area, we've had Democrats running unopposed for positions like mayors and representatives (I'm in New York) because the other guys know they can't win. I'm sure that's a national concern.
If you want to make your vote count, vote against the incumbent. I don't care if Jesus Christ is your councilman, until politicians realize that they need to respond to the people and not the right party things in this country will never change.

I agree 100%!!!!! We also need to limit the age of the politicians so as to not be left behind the curve on new and smarter people who could lead us out of the mess these old politicians have led us into.
If the politicians even gave a little respect to the people who elected them, and not to the party they serve or the lobbyists that pay them, we might not be close to the dismal state we are in at the present time.
Our politicians are so jaded by what their "party" thinks is the way to go, their common sense is little if any. We are so badly in debt, which is all owned by China btw, we need a severe change of direction in the way Washington is run, and that means getting rid of the political parties.
Great question.

I think eliminating political parties is a fantastic step in the best direction for the country -- force people to actually vote for individual candidates, not party place-holders -- and force politicians to vote based on issues, not partisan allegiance.
As for term limits -- that's a much less important aspect -- but it would do a lot to solve the 90+% incumbency rate in Congress.

The TEA occasion isn't an expert political occasion. this is a grassroots number of people who're stricken by potential of the direction of our usa, extremely the spending behavior of the present administration and the previous one quite. it would desire to grow to be one i assume. If the Republican occasion continues to be the RINO occasion. The Republicans replaced the Whigs in spite of each and every thing.

Its astute. But we don't need to wait for them to impose term limits on their own jobs, which they will never do. Just vote anti-incumbant. For the next four election cycles if we all vote against the incumbant no matter what party or what policy lies they tell us, we effectively impose our own term limits and send a message to these scumbags that it is actually WE THE PEOPLE who are in charge of running this nation.

Parties are a inevitibility. Candidates will always allign themselves in order to gain coalitions to both recieve votes, and pass legislature. Even if you outlawed "parties" per se, the same thing would still happen, or there would be complete stagnation (though to a degree, stagnation is oftn a beautiful thing in politics - no one messes things up worse).

I think this would be great idea…as with more people getting into politics; now the Israeli lobby will have to put more money back into the country to buy those politicians; instead of the billions that we keep on giving them for them to wage more wars and get us into more hostilities else where in the world…

I think that's a wonderful idea. Without the other political party to vilify each candidate would have to express how they would change policies to help the American people.
